Fast damping of ultralow frequency waves excited by interplanetary shocks in the magnetosphere
Download2015
Zong, Qui-Gang, Wang, Chengrui, Rankin, Robert
Analysis of Cluster spacecraft data shows that intense ultralow frequency (ULF) waves in the inner magnetosphere can be excited by the impact of interplanetary shocks and solar wind dynamic pressure variations. The observations reveal that such waves can be damped away rapidly in a few tens of...

Numerical modeling of drift resonance and drift-bounce resonance between ultra-low frequency waves and energetic particles in the inner magnetosphere
DownloadFall 2018
The main topic of this thesis is the investigation of drift resonance and drift-bounce resonance between energetic particles and Pc3-5 Alfvenic ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves in the Earth's inner magnetosphere. We have developed numerical models to simulate how the dynamics of O+, H+ ions and...
